I have been working on this car for a long time with little knowlege. Here is a little background. I still have a few issues with the car that will make diagnosing this difficult I know.
It's a 92, but I converted a 89 wiring harness to fit this car.
Still have no Check Engine light
Have no Tach
Idle is not perfect, but is now better than it has ever been. It will idle fine most of the time, although a bit high. Sometimes it gets high enough to cut fuel, and drop the idle (1700 I think). This doesn't happen as often as it used to, but I wonder if it is the cause of the current problem.
OK, so the car runs pretty good now. So far, it still is limited to driving around the neighborhood. I try to keep the drives calm, but I've done a little while kids are in school. If I am accelerating, everything is fine. But, if I ease off the gas to a point that I'm not accelerating, it will cut fuel. I take my foot off the gas for a second or so, and it will come right back. If I nail it, it will not cut out. I've done a good bit of testing on this. It only happens when I have reached my desired speed and try to just maintain it.
My thoughts are, it's either TPS related, or due to the harness not being right. I've planned on replacing the harness for a while, but unemployment hasn't made that possible yet. I believe it to be the source of all of my problems. But, I want to know if maybe there is something else that may be causing this particular issue.
